Adolescent and Teen Counseling

Teenagers can be moody at the best of times, but do you feel your teen is lashing out against you, your spouse or their siblings a little too much?

Or maybe your child was the victim of a childish prank or social media post that went too far and caused harmful, emotional damage to them?

Or lastly, your teenage daughter is looking for someone with an outside perspective to talk with about her pregnancy?

Growing up in our complex society can be a confusing and challenging time for teens and adolescents. For some, the additional support counseling brings during this time of their life can move them past challenges which may cause them anxiety or depression. If you find any of the above three statements relating to your child’s life, you may want to consider adolescent and teen counseling.
